I ran numerous searches for this topic, but didn't come up with anything.

Does anyone know anything or have any experience with the Renesis Racing Short Throw Shifter? Has anyone heard anything about this company?

Considering the company website has been up for a year, I find it odd that there are only 4 products listed on the website - and as such I'm not being convinced of their quality and reputation.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting...I want one

 

Far be it for me to say anything since I'm about to start selling a competing product. BUT the item pictured is for an RX 7.. The 8 uses a different shifter design. You can tell the difference by the length and the lockout tab. The 7 is shorter and has a groove in the ball. It uses a 12mm shift **** and the 8 uses an 10mm. The 8 has a larger pivot socket.

 

DavisRx8, I take it you've seen this thread?

 

Yep, I've been following that thread. It was while I was researching short throw shifters in general that I found the website for Renesis Racing.

 

Umm, how many RX8 products do you see listed on the HKS or Greddy sites?

 

Good point. Although I am leaning towards the RP short shifter, I will give Renesis Racing the benefit of the doubt and look into it a little more. Considering they're local (San Francisco), a little more research on my part wouldn't hurt. Besides - no offense to Richard Paul of course - if Renesis Racing does indeed manufacture a short throw shifter for the Rx8, it would give us consumers more options to choose from.

 

IS Richard paul gonna keep the reverse lockout feature.

 

I had a C's short throw in my FD and FC...Looks just like the renesis racing one. I loved them, will be putting one of the RR short throws in my 8 very soon..The positive throws feel just like butter :D
